Title: You Are My Life

Summery: When something happens to Monica , Chandler's life is shattered.


Chapter 5: Memories, Marriage, and Kids



Monica had been in a coma for a couple of weeks now and Chandler spent almost all of his time by her side. He took a leave of absence from work and Ross, Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe were helping him with the kids. They also spent time visiting Monica.



Chandler walked into Monica's room with his daughter Hannah and his niece Emma. They walked over to Monica's bed. Chandler set the bag he was carrying down. Hannah looked at Chandler "Mommy sleeping" she asked. "Yes angel mommy's sleeping" he said sadly. "She looks like sleeping beauty" Emma said. "Why don't you kiss her Uncle Chandler" she giggled. Chandler smiled a little at the 4 year old. "It wouldn't work Emms I'm not a prince" he said softly. "Yuh huh Aunt Monica says you're her prince" she answered.




Chandler sighed softly as he glanced at Monica and then back at his niece. "She did" he said. "Well then I should kiss her" he said humoring the little girl. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Monica's lips. Emma giggled and then frowned when it didn't work. "It didn't work" she whispered. "No but maybe if you girls talk to her she'll hear you and wake up" Chandler told her. "Okay" both girls said. He picked them up and set them on the edge of Monica's bed.




"Hi aunt Monica" Emma whispered. "Guess what" she exclaimed. "Uncle Chandler let me hold Daniel it was fun until he got baby barf on me that was eww!" she giggled. Hannah smiled. "Mommy Unc Joey let me play with the ducky and the chicky" she said happily. Chandler sighed sadly as he watched the girls filling Monica in on what she had missed.



Rachel walked in. "Hey" she whispered. "Hi Rach" Chandler answered. She smiled at the girls. "Come on guys its time to go" she said softly. "I wanna stay with daddy" Hannah cried. "We're going to Chuckie Cheese uncle Joey and aunt Phoebe will be there too" Rachel told the little girl. Hannah shook her head. "No wanna stay with daddy" she pouted. Chandler picked her up and set her on his lap. "Angel why don't you go with aunt Rachel you love going to Chuckie Cheese with uncle Joey he chases you through all those tunnels and jumps in the ball pit with you" he said softly. "Aunt Rachel will bring you back here later okay" he said kissing her forehead. The 3 year old climbed off her daddy's lap and took Rachel's hand. "Love you daddy" she whispered as she left the room. "I love you too angel" he answered. He looked at Rachel. "Thank you" he whispered. She nodded and gave him a small smile as she left the room.




Chandler sat on the bed next to Monica. He grabbed the bag he set down earlier. He pulled out a photo album. "Mon" he whispered. "I know you can't look at the pictures but I can tell you about them" he said softly. He opened the book and chuckled at the first photo. It was of him, Ross, Rachel, and Monica taken by Jack on the first Thanksgiving he spent with the Gellers. "Look at us Mon, me with my flock of seagulls hair and Rach with her old nose" he said. He looked at the picture then he looked at her. "I'm sorry I called you fat that day Mon you've always been beautiful" he whispered.



The next picture he turned to Monica was holding newborn Ben he was standing beside her and beside him stood Ross. "Remember when Ben was born you were so sad you really wanted a baby and I offered to have one with you if neither of us were married by the time we were forty" he said softly. "Who knew we'd be married to each other with two babies before we were forty" he said looking at the gold wedding band on Monica's finger.




Chandler sighed as he flipped through to another picture it was him and Monica sitting on the beach together. Joey had snapped it. "Here we are on the beach Mon I asked you if you'd ever go out with me but you said I wasn't boyfriend material, I bothered you the whole trip and I ended up peeing on your leg after you were stung by a jellyfish you said I'd always be the guy who peed on you" he whispered. The next picture brought tears to his eyes. Monica was wearing a red dress and he was in a tux. The picture was taken at Ross and Emily's wedding. "London" he whispered. "Its where we started Monica" he said. "You were depressed because that drunk guy thought you were Ross's mom and we ended up together that was the best night of my life Monica" he whispered.




The next picture was taken on Thanksgiving Monica had a turkey on her head. Chandler took it because he thought it was funny and he used it to scare Joey. Chandler laughed. "That was some Thanksgiving Mon you danced with a turkey on your head to cheer me up I said I loved you and denied it I was afraid you didn't feel the same stupid huh" he said softly. "You scared the hell out of Joey" he chuckled.




Chandler looked at the next picture He and Monica were standing next to Phoebe wearing a blue velvet dress. "Pheebs tried to seduce me into confessing we were sleeping together I said I was in love with you I was in love with you long before that day Monica" he whispered. The next photo was taken in Vegas. "Vegas honey" he whispered. "Roll another high eight and we get married" he said. "We almost got married until we saw Ross and Rachel come out of the chapel when we got home I asked you to live with me, you screamed yes and jumped into my arms you almost knocked me over" he chuckled.




The last page of the album held a picture of Chandler with his arms around Monica standing in the middle of the room filled with candles. Monica insisted Ross take a picture of them as an engaged couple. "The night we got engaged Mon I thought I lost you to Richard the big tree" he said. "Then I come home and Joey said you left me and went home to your parents but there you were surrounded by candle light looking so beautiful you started to propose to me but you said there was a reason why girls don't do this so I proposed and when you said yes I felt like the luckiest man New York, no the world" he whispered.





Chandler closed the book and put in the bag. He pulled out another album. The first picture was their wedding picture. "Here we are on our wedding day Monica you were the most beautiful bride I've ever seen" he whispered. "Monica I thought this was going to be the most difficult thing I ever had to do. But when I saw you walking down that aisle I realized how simple it was. I love you. Any surprises that come our way, it's okay, because I will always love you. You are the person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. You wanna know if I'm sure?"


Chandler took Monica's hand in his. "I'll never forget those words Mon" he whispered. "Marrying you was the best thing I've ever done I love you Mon so much" he whispered. He came to another picture Rachel was in a hospital bed holding Emma, Ross was on the bed beside her Chandler stood next to the bed Monica stood in front of him, his arms were around her waist and Phoebe and Joey stood next to them. "Look Mon the day Emma was born it was also the day we decided to start our family we had sex in the supply closet only to get caught by your dad" he said softly.




He flipped through the pages. He smiled. There was a picture of a very pregnant Monica. "Look at you honey you were about 8 months pregnant with Hannah you looked so beautiful when you were pregnant" he whispered. He continued to go through the album there was a picture of Monica holding a newborn Hannah with Chandler sitting beside her, a picture of Monica and Chandler at Ross and Rachel's wedding and Joey and Phoebe's engagement party, a picture of Monica pregnant with Daniel, a picture of Monica holding newborn Daniel and the last pictures in the album were a family picture of Chandler, Monica and the kids and a picture of the gang along with Emma, Ben, Hannah, and Daniel. The rest of the paged were still empty.





Chandler set the book down and moved a little closer to Monica. He held her hand and stroked her long dark hair. "Please Monica please wake up the kids need you I...I need you" he whispered. "We still have alot of memories to make alot of empty pages in our photo album to fill" he added. Tears filled his eyes as he buried his face in her neck. "I love you Monica so much and I will until the day I die" he cried. "If I could I'd take your place in a second" he added. He laid there with her for several minutes. He jumped when he felt it. Monica squeezed his hand. "Monica" he whispered.




Dr. Reynolds walked into Monica's room. Chandler looked at her. "Dr. Reynolds, Monica she...she squeezed my hand she's waking up right" he asked. Dr. Reynolds sighed softly. "Mr. Bing" she started.
